El verdadero aguayo (aguayo nativo) es un tejido hilado a mano, y utilizado por las mujeres del Altiplano de Perú y Bolivia. Cada mujer tiene su propio aguayo. Puede ser fabricado con lana de llama, alpaca, u oveja; teñido con colores naturales vivos. Antiguamente eran los hombres los que utilizaban estos tejidos de aguayo.
Existen 7 zonas donde se fabrican los aguayos: la zona Norte de La Paz, la zona Circunlacustre (incluyendo la ciudad de La Paz), las zonas de Oruro, Cochabamba, El Centro, Potosí, y finalmente Chuquisaca. Cada zona tiene sus propias características. Por ejemplo, pasan del subrealismo de los tejidos de Jalq'a (más conocidos como tejidos de Potolo, en Sucre) a la elegancia de los de Macha en Potosí, pasando por la extravagancia de los tejidos de Tarabuco.
Estos grandes cuadrados de tejidos sirven para llevar a los bebes y niños pequeños en la espalda, para sentarse, colocar alimentos, así como toda de clase de productos. Al tejer estas piezas de aguayo, hombres y mujeres escriben y pintan historias de sus comunidades, símbolos de su cultura o bien cosas que soñaron para este trabajo. Por supuesto, estas historias y símbolos dependen de las diferentes regiones. De hecho, cada región posee sus propios colores, dibujos, técnicas, y hacen sus tejidos a través de dibujos abstractos, de representaciones ingenuas y figurativas o incluyen monstruos subrealistas.
Los aguayos multicolores que se puede ver hoy en Bolivia son de algodón, y establecidos en talleres especializados, diferentes de los que se califican de tradicionales, pero más baratos. De alguna manera, estos son aguayos sintéticos de fabricación industrial.
History of Airavatesvara temple
Palaiyarai is ancient temple city and the Capital of the Cholas. King Raja Kambeera Mamannan, Raja Raja Chola II (1146 A.D. to 1172 A.D) changed his capital from Gangaikonda Cholapuram to Palaiyarai and renamed it as Raja Raja Puram (at present it is Darasuram). There were 1000 Thaligal (temples) in palaiyarai .There were 4 padai veedus (Military Camps) on al the four directions of the Capital. Thalicherippendirgal were appointed by the king to develop fine arts especially music and dance in the temple during festival occasions. King Raja Raja II constructed in his name a beautiful temple called Raja Rajechuram (at present Airavatheeswara) in1160 A.D. to 1162 A.D. This Raja Rajechuram (Raja Rajeschuram – Tharechuram – Darachuram -Darasurm) became Darasuram at present. It is a world heritage monument protected by UNESCO.
Mythology :
Airavatham is an elephant (white in colour) and is a vehicle of Indra. It was cursed by sage Durvasa to lose its shining white. Airavatha came to his temple and got its original colour after worshipping the Lord. Hence the deity came to known as Airavatheeswara (the protector or the elephant).

The grassland region to the northeast of Tro La pass-4864m is known as Yilhun.Here two rivers,the Tro-chu and Dzenu-chu drain from the Trola Range to form the Yi-chu,a fast-flowing tributary of the Yalong.Here I visited the sacred glacial lake of Yilhun Lha Tso-4110m, and some peaks from the Trola ri (Rongme Ngatra ri རོང་མེ་ མེ་ ང་ ཏྲ་ རི་ )situated some 30km below the Tro La pass.

No. This is not the Brigadeeswara temple of Thanjavur. This is the Kampahareswarar temple at Thribuvanam, near Kumbakonam. This is also known as the Sarabeswarar temple. It is believed to have been built by Kulothunga Chola III around 1176 C.E. In addition to the imposing Vimanam it has some exquisite sculptures vying with that of Darasuram and the other Chola temples.
Como en una sinfonía los caminos se dividen, las esquinas se juntan, las calles se expanden, los paisajes se encuentran, los días se olvidan, el tiempo se para.
Cada paso con valentía, entre humo y espejos, entre reflejos distorsionados, con movimiento y a veces tan claros que dejan ver tus heridas.
Cada puerta un portal, diferentes culturas, diferentes paisajes, diferentes formas de vida. Cada ventana una visión al pasado, al presente y al futuro.
He llegado lejos, sé que voy por buen camino, lo bueno, lo grandioso, me funciona como un encanto.

I spent the other night listening to my favorite performance artist Ask a Chola on her brand new radio show. Between the gully banter and crazy music I loved every second of it. I wanted to do what I could to support Chola's new endeavor so I thought I'd create a new portrait to help get the word out.
My first portrait of Ask a Chola, circa March 2007, is a good marker for how far my technical skills in illustration have evolved. I wonder sometimes if I've gotten too far away from my original style but I'm really happy with the direction the tablet has taken me in. There's even a noticeable difference from my first couple of piece with it. Things are looking up!
Alas, I'm triste because I'll be in LA next Wednesday and will be away from a computer to listen to the show with. Someone will need to fill me in on the jams Chola throws and if there are any more breathless phone calls from the mysterious Anonima. Radio Chola airs Wednesdays from 7:30pm to 10:00pm at Kill Radio.
